Your Security Chain Is Only as Strong as Your Weakest Vendor

When vendors say “trust us,” attackers say “thank you.”

Static assessments create the illusion of security—but attackers aren’t fooled by checklists. They exploit the least-tested vendors to gain access to your environment.

This white paper explores how security teams use Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) to move beyond trust-based assessments and continuously test third-party defenses against real-world threats.

You’ll learn how to:
Move beyond traditional, trust-based vendor assessments
Identify and close supply chain gaps attackers exploit
Enable self-reporting and scalable third-party testing
Centralize oversight and enforce real security standards
Align AEV with Zero Trust and CTEM initiatives
Make the ROI case for continuous validation over paperwork
